During this intensive workshop-full of conceptual thinking yet serious fun-participants will discover the incredible variety of applications utilizing the art form of cutting, which essentially is line drawing with an x-acto type blade. During the class, we will conceive and produce works as different as unique story-telling images, and cover techniques on how to produce works in stenciled editions, pop-ups, dimensional work, or wearable sculptures. Using different papers and tyvek, experimenting with scale, we will keep an open mind to adapt them to other materials and explore new territories. Lots of tips, tricks, and resources will be provided. No experience necessary. Visit the Papermaking webpage to reigster.
